Why does the rear brake of a motorcycle squeak when pressed?
1 Answers
If the rear brake of a motorcycle squeaks when pressed, it is likely due to deformation of the brake disc or brake pads, and replacing them with new ones should resolve the issue. The brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force, slowing down or stopping the motorcycle when the brake is applied. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in the braking system of a vehicle, playing a decisive role in the effectiveness of braking. A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars. It is lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment.
